Why must a fully-feathered wing be left on game ducks until hunters reach their normal place of residence or until immediately prior to cooking?
This regulation enables wildlife officers to quickly and accurately identify all waterfowl in a hunter’s possession and reduces the amount of time that officers need to inspect hunters’ bags. Leaving the wing on a bird also assists the Department in collecting harvest data during bag surveys and can provide information on the age and moult of ducks.
